# Setting Up

**Persona** offers flexibility in managing access to website content for users. Choose between custom [**Sign In**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/sign-in-page), [**Sign Up**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/sign-up-page), [**User** **Account**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/account-page)**,** and [**Membership**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/membership-page) **pages** for a personalized experience, or streamline the process by using the **Ghost Portal**. To fully leverage the membership features in **Persona**, users can opt to utilize the integrated Ghost Portal for streamlined access management, providing an out-of-the-box solution for sign in, sign up, subscribe, user account, and membership management. Alternatively, for those seeking a more tailored approach, custom pages for each of these functions can be created, offering flexibility to match your site's unique design and user experience requirements.

**To use Ghost Portal interface:**

* Go to **Settings > Portal settings** from the admin menu
* Go to **Look & feel** tab
* Toggle the **Show portal button** to the ON position

When activating the **Ghost Portal** interface by **showing portal button**, links (that built into the theme) located in the header, mobile menu, and other navigation elements of your site, which traditionally directed users to custom [**Sign In**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/sign-in-page) and [**Account**](https://highfivethemes.gitbook.io/persona-user-documentation/membership/account-page) pages, will now trigger the [**Ghost Portal interface**](https://ghost.org/help/customize-portal/) instead.

**To use custom pages:**
